A NOTE FROM THE CEO

Our vision was to create a better hedge fund option that was truly client‐centric. The goal was (and still is) to impact clients meaningfully by achieving unrivalled results. We agreed that if we couldn’t deliver consistently stronger returns than most competitors, we shouldn’t be in business.

A Note from the CEO

Corbin’s vision is rooted in my prior experience working in various aspects of the traditional asset management business. When I started with Corbin, hedge fund managers were pretty fringy in the institutional market - not yet mainstream. They were revered, treated with kid gloves, and everyone was worried about accessing their scarce capacity. I was baffled and shocked by the disconnect between adoration for the hedge fund managers, yet a relative disregard for client needs. Hedge funds were simply asset managers in a different package, and in traditional asset management, it was crystal clear that clients were at the center of the galaxy and treated accordingly. Most hedge funds didn’t seem to get that - client alignment wasn’t the point, and this was reflected in the transparency and service provided to clients.

Our vision was to create a better hedge fund option that was truly client‐centric. The goal was (and still is) to impact clients meaningfully by achieving unrivalled results. We agreed that if we couldn’t deliver consistently stronger returns than most competitors, we shouldn’t be in business. We structured the firm around this guiding principle.

How do we do this? It’s a very active and opportunistic approach that, by design, was different than our primary competitors. Initially, the goal was to complement the big guys and work our way towards becoming a mainstream option. We were not market neutral, not simply a diversification tool, and not driven by distribution trends. Instead, we offered a returns‐seeking approach with a strong focus on delivering idiosyncratic risk by structuring concentrated portfolios of managers. Over a decade later, we are still guided by this client‐centric principle.

Events

Corbin events are centered around investor involvement and education. We believe it is our duty to provide our clients with information about investment themes and opportunities via various events with our manager partners and industry professionals. Here are some recent events Corbin has hosted.

Cryptocurrency 2018

Corbin met with Kevin Worth, CEO of CoinDesk, to discuss cryptocurrencies and how to navigate the web of altcoins. CoinDesk is a leading digital media and information services company for crypto asset and blockchain technology. The focus was educational, since Corbin doesn’t have any meaningful exposure to the space. We’ve been looking at it for a few years now, and we know some major players in the industry, but haven’t identified the significant edge we look for before investing our clients' capital. Our key takeaways are summarized below.

Blockchain technology has the potential to be truly disruptive to current business models and add tremendous value through increased transparency, efficiency, and trust.

This technology is still in its infancy – only time will tell whether value will come from the technology protocol itself or from applications layered on top of this technology.

Despite recent financial media hype, we still need to focus on building out the technology (beneath the hype, lies the fundamentals).
